Guys, things have gotten even worse with Ford. Remove your VIN from the forum and message me the VIN check requests. Since people cannot follow directions and remove the VINs after I check them, I will not be doing public VIN checks anymore. Ford is suspending FDRS accounts for checking VINs outside the United States, too. Enjoy this while it lasts.
Probably should just have the admins lock this thread unfortunately if that's the case since no one can follow that ask seems like. Or if there can be some type of message or popup before you post on this thread there should be no VINs posted publicly on here anymore, but that might be a tall order. Or even just rename the title of the thread to say that right off the bat. Sucks to see it come to this but that's the game I guess.

No wonder their software is slacking when engineering teams are busy with these non sense projects.

Yes. Ford is only going to get stricter about this over time, so I don't foresee it going away.
is this because you work for a dealer ship and they feel you are creating more warranty work? just really don't understand how they can control this if your a paying customer..

I would like to keep the thread open so people know it exists. I will just ignore the public VIN check requests.

Idk what the reason is, tbh. Maybe they want everyone to have to pay for a license to access PTS/FDRS to check their own statuses so they can make more money. Who knows?

Well shoot, majority of people that ask to check usually end up buying a license to get it updated themselves, so they are already getting their money there lol. If they were smart they would allow everyone to check for free then say hey, go to the dealer and pay them $$ to update it for you or give us $ and you can do it yourself.

In the John Deere world we are right on cusp of this right now, you/customers can push new OTA capable updates to machines straight from the app, for free and yourself! Plus the newer tool we have, you can push updates straight through a browser to the modem/TCU through wifi for any other updates, without the need for any type of interface device. I've even done some using just my phone and its pretty cool, so its coming.

Hello Folks,

It's been a while since I've updated via FDRS. I'd like to upgrade my blue cruise. I'm currious to see what I'm up against. Thank you.

I just updated my truck and took me 10 hours. I had 22 modules to update and I got 21 of 22 updated and with the help from Rugedraw and others I now have BC 1.4 and all my modules are now updated except the BCM. Good luck and get a 20 amp battery charger with 12v power supply.

In an attempt to keep the other threads clean lets use this thread to request VIN lookups from anyone with an active FDRS or PTS subscription.

Please specify if you are looking for OTA updates (done via PTS) or module updates (done via FDRS)

You can pm @rugedraw with your VIN, he may be able to help and please be patient.

Here's some good OTA information courtesy of @JScaro

Can someone check my VIN and tell me what updates or what is wrong that I can get BlueCruise in Ford Pass?

I have a 21 Lariat with Active Prep 2.0 package. I completed tons of FDRS updates recently and want Blue Cruise. I ran the updater to setup Blue Cruise in the APIM module. Truck never got any OTA updates, so I did them all in FDRS. What am I missing for this truck to get it to work update wise? Sync version seems to be the latest also. Thanks!

Let's start with the IPMA config; it's all jacked up. I assume you've you've FORScan because this shows you have glare free lights enabled: With FORScan, change this in the IPMA:

To this:

xEx0 xxxx AE--

That will give you the correct config for BC to be able to work.

The other issue you have is that BC is not showing as an option in your connected services. I don't think correcting the config in the IPMA will make it show up here. For that, you may have to contact the Fordpass team to see if they can send you an activation signal or something.

Like this In the attached photo? I have never modified any as built module manually. It won't allow me to do lowercase "x" only upper case. Then clock "write" below it and refresh? Anything else to update? Thank you so much for jumping in to help! Waiting for your reply so I don't jack something up.

"--" is a check digit that the software creates. Don't worry about it..
